Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: Black Fighters, We Are Built Differently

[amayseng]

They are probably very close in overall athleticism. Vick is faster and more agile. Polamalu is stronger and more explosive.

Polamalu is more athletic than Manning and Brady.

What is the point of your question, please?

vick aint faster than troy

troy has better jumping ability, more overall athletic

my point is that WE ALL KNOW this but are being stubborn, the best athlete

is not a race, it is personal. diff people have diff attributes not because of race

im white, my dna gift is fast twitch mm fibers. i had fast hands and fast feet,

40 yard dash you couldnt catch me, i played point gaurd you couldnt stay in

front of me and gaurd me...

i was 175lbs and hit baseballs 475 feet..

but if you want to run the 100 meter after 50 you would catch me.

im white and there is no way im going to sit here and have anyone tell me

black people are more athletic than me when in every sport i played i dominated

everyone

typical boxing scene poster right here.

quick to point out black racism towards other races, but is quiet as a church mouse when it comes to racism towards blacks.

and if manny were black he'd still be considered (by blacks) beneath FLOYD.

wheres the racism towards black people??? im not hating on black people or anything but most of the brotha's on here is some racist phucks! Posting up dog pictures, gay pics of flip people when arguing about whos better manny or floyd.. come on now, leave that ***** out of here, if you're going to have a debate about 2 boxers then have a debate about them. Dont bring their people into this or post up ***** that have nothing to do with them.

the key word is in general and once again how many biking clubs and teams are there in the inner city??? smh...u guys are totally missing the point.

so youre saying athletcisim is only for the inner city.last time i checked...we had roads everywhere.

True to an extent. but you can't say "african descent". the different regions of africa are far different.

There are ZERO elite sprinters from East Africa. Similarly, west Africans don't perform well in distance running. Different body types. Different gene pools.

The sports that are most popular in western civilization are dominated by men of West african descent.

By the way, what would happen if you took one of the ethiopians or kenyans who dominate distance running and put him on a bike when he was 12? He would win 10 Tour de France trophies.

yea, ur rite, west african descent is what i meant. i kno Africa is very diverse

ur ******ed or something??? the point is most african americans live in the inner city. alot of the sports ppl bring up are not popular in the inner city. the ones that are are overwhelmingly dominated by african americans.

Why don't you read this thread THOROUGHLY before you respond to someone that already has.

There were MULTIPLE racist pictures and posts in thread DEMEANING black people.

[Sparked_1985]

Seriously, why doesn't Hopkins actually study this assertion?

He's very interested in it and multiple studies have been carried out on sporting performance and race. He could have done a thesis on this by now.

[Gino Ros]

vick aint faster than troy

Michael Vick ran a 4.25.
Troy ran a 4.31.

Your feelings are hurt because you have been outperformed by those black guys.

Get over it, man. There's a reason you aren't pro and they are.

[chino727]

Lance Armstrong is an athlete.

What is the point of your question?

your definition of athletcism was running and jumping.
